The Samsung Galaxy A25 5G is a mid-range Android smartphone designed, developed, and marketed by Samsung Electronics as a part of its Galaxy A series. It was announced on 11 December 2023 and was released along with the Samsung Galaxy A15 5 days later. ^{[3] [4] [5] [6]}

Starting from this release, only a 5G model would be released with its predecessor being the last A2x model to be released with 4G connectivity only.

Specifications

Design

The display is made of Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The back panel and sides are made of plastic. The design of the device looks almost similar to its predecessor, but the rear panel is now completely flat, and the transition between the rear panel and the camera unit is smoother. Also, Galaxy A25 5G is the first A2x phone that has the IP67 standard. ^[7]

On the right side are the volume buttons and the smartphone lock button combined with a fingerprint sensor. It is also the last A2x device to include a 3.5mm headset jack. ^[8]
